Longtime Riot Fest attendees know it has always been smart to bring a rain poncho and waterproof boots to the 3-day festival. Day One at Riot Fest brought mid-July temps to Douglas Park, under a late summer sun – a welcome addition to the festivities for sure. Strong sets by Skating Polly, Like Pacific, INVSN, HDBeenDope, Tobacco Road, Liars, Sleep On It, Buzzcocks, X, New Order and Ministry made Day One that much better.And as Jaime Black pointed out in his review – Nine Inch Nails’ performance may have been RF’s MVP set.
